By default, WordPress Multisite uses certain rewrite rules for file uploads. This leads to a URL that doesn’t reflect the exact location of your files on the server. This plugin disables that functionality.
Note: This plugin is extremely simple in purpose. It requires additional setup before it can be used with most Multisite Networks.
If your Multisite was initially created using WordPress 3.5 or later, then you do not need this plugin
Before Use
This plugin is very specific in purpose. In order to use it, you will need to follow some steps first:
- Move your images from
/wp-content/blogs.dir/SITENUM/files/to/wp-content/uploads/sites/SITENUM/.SITENUMcorresponds to the ID of each of your sub-sites. - Modify the database for each site. I recommend using this awesome script (just don’t forget to delete it when you’re done!). You will need to update the image URLs in the database to replace
http://site.example.com/files/withhttp://site.example.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/SITENUM/ - Clear out the settings for each site for “Upload Path”, “Upload URL Path”, and “File Upload URL”. You can find these settings by going to Network Admin > Sites, then for each individual site, click the “Edit” link, then go to the Settings tab.
